As Cubmaster of a Scout Pack, we give out a paper calendar. I'd like to also be able to email a link that parents can use to download the Pack activities to their phone. Any websites, apps, advice, etc? I've never done anything like this. Thanks!

Suggesting people download the Google calendar app is easiest, but isn't necessary. Most calendar apps (e.g. the built-in iOS calendar) can be set to sync with a Google calendar. I would provide a link so that folks can open the calendar in a browser, as well as a link to instructions on how to download the Google calendar app and sync it to a Google calendar, as well as links to how to sync the built-in iOS and Android calendars to a Google calendar.

I’ve been using google calendar for scheduling call for my small group. I created a new google account. I entered data on the calendar for that account, and I gave the password to all my partners so they could use the built in calendar app on their iPhones to sync and look at the call schedule.

Recently, I’ve been inundated with messages from google because of access being made from multiple devices. Google thinks it’s being hacked and it blocks those devices. So I’m looking now for something that will avoid this problem. Any suggestions?

Not sure what you need? You can share the calendar, either as "public" or with specified people (they may need gmail accounts). If other people need to WRITE to the calendar, then perhaps using the "delegate" feature? I'm not sure how that works with gcal; I only use it with mail. Perhaps having people send you "invites" would let you click "add to my calendar" to add them for everybody to see?

I will try and see if I can make it public. That might solve the issue. Thanks!

I feel like a dunce. I cannot get google calendar to work for our family. The stuff that I want public won't show up, I find it a hot mess. We have yet to find something that works for our mixed household of Android/Apple users.
